Things to do in Tokyo, Kanto: The Best Nature & Parks

May 19, 2021 Nicolette Lion

Tradition collides with pop culture in Tokyo, where you can reverently wander ancient temples before rocking out at a karaoke bar. Wake up before the sun to catch the lively fish auction at the Tsukiji Market, then refresh with a walk beneath the cherry blossom trees that line the Sumida River. Spend some time in the beautiful East Gardens of the Imperial Palace, then brush up on your Japanese history at the Edo-Tokyo Museum. Don’t forget to eat as much sushi, udon noodles, and wagashi (Japanese sweets) as your belly can handle.

Meguro River

Reviewed By kayelle100 - Sydney, Australia

We went to Nakameguro to see the illumination of the cherry blossom trees along Meguro River. About 800 cherry trees line a 2.2 kilometre stretch of the Meguro River, and 1 kilometre of this is illuminated, with the lights turned on around sunset (5pm) and switched off at 9pm each night. Red lanterns line both sides of the river, and vendors set up stalls along the narrow side streets selling the usual festival fare, as well as pink champagne / sparkling wine by the glass. The 10 or so bridges across the river provide the most spectacular views.

Meiji Shrine Imperial Garden

Reviewed By LoisD96 - Auckland Central, New Zealand

Visited the Shrine on the same day as the new Emperor was installed. A national holiday for the Japanese with many there to honour a very famous Emperor of the past. The entry portal is quite magnificent and the area beatuifully wooded. A very enjoyable visit.
